Is Music Therapy about Health or Wellness?

The advanced state of the pharmaceutical industry has led to the fact that we can find drugs on the market today that can eliminate most disorders. Precisely because we are accustomed to eliminating all our discomforts by swallowing tablets, in recent years the number of drug addicts has grown enormously. In order to prevent this scenario, alternative methods of treatment are increasingly popular, of which music therapy is particularly important.

What is music therapy?

It is a set of techniques and methods that produce pleasant sounds at the level of conscious brain frequencies. Sound production can be active (the therapist uses a voice or instrument) or receptive (the patient listens to selected music output which helps him to achieve the desired therapeutic effect). Bearing in mind that this is a therapy that has no recorded negative side effects, it can be applied at all ages from conception to advanced age, thanks to the fact that sound, whether it is a product of voice, body, and instruments, or even electronic and computer technology, can vary in strength, and its frequencies are also different. Thus, this kind of therapy can be used in diagnostics, prevention, palliative care, special education, and rehabilitation, and also in healthy persons, children, and adults, in order to promote physical health, and mental and spiritual development. In this regard, there is behavioral musical therapy, psycho-therapeutic music therapy, and educational musical therapy.
